Background

About Andrew Simon

An experienced teacher, researcher, and editor, I am currently serving as a member of the Middle Eastern Studies faculty at Dartmouth College. As a self-starter who excels in fast-paced, team-oriented environments, and applies creative strategies to engage diverse stakeholders, I am passionate about expanding intellectual horizons. At Dartmouth, I have played a key part in building a new Middle Eastern Studies program from the ground up and have led courses on Middle East politics, history, media, and culture for hundreds of students. I am the author of an award-winning book on Egypt's recent past with Stanford University Press that will soon appear in Arabic with Dar El Shorouk, one of the leading publishing houses in the Middle East. I have presented my research at conferences in and outside of the U.S, including in the Middle East. I am fluent in Modern Standard Arabic and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, and was a fellow at the Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. I am a member of the editorial board for my field's flagship publication: the International Journal of Middle East Studies (IJMES). I welcome opportunities to apply my subject matter expertise to engage widely-ranging audiences, from students and educators to members of the general public.
